    Fluorescein aqueous solutions, diluted from 10,000 to 1 parts-per-million in intervals of 10 fold dilution. At 1 ppm the solution is a very pale yellow. As the concentration increases the colour becomes a more vibrant yellow, then orange, with the final 10,000 ppm a deep red colour.

    Although ppmv and grains per dscf have been used in the above examples, concentrations such as ppbv (i.e., parts per billion by volume), volume percent, grams per dscm and many others may also be used. 1 percent by volume = 10,000 ppmv (i.e., parts per million by volume).

  4. Air pollutant concentrations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_pollutant_concentrations

    1 volume percent = 10,000 ppmv (i.e., parts per million by volume) with a million being defined as 10 6. Care must be taken with the concentrations expressed as ppbv to differentiate between the British billion which is 10 12 and the USA billion which is 10 9 (also referred to as the long scale and short scale billion, respectively).

  5. Microgram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgram

    However, the abbreviation mcg is also the symbol for an obsolete centimetre–gram–second system of units unit of measure known as millicentigram, which is equal to 10 μg. Gamma (symbol: γ) is a deprecated non-SI unit of mass equal to 1 μg. [2] A fullwidth version of the "microgram" symbol is encoded by Unicode at code point U+338D ...

  6. Volume fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_fraction

    It is the same concept as volume percent (vol%) except that the latter is expressed with a denominator of 100, e.g., 18%. The volume fraction coincides with the volume concentration in ideal solutions where the volumes of the constituents are additive (the volume of the solution is equal to the sum of the volumes of its ingredients).

  7. Lambda (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_(unit)

    1 μl Lambda (written λ, in lowercase) is a non- SI unit of volume equal to 10 −9 m 3 , 1 cubic millimetre (mm 3 ) or 1 microlitre (μL). Introduced by the BIPM in 1880, [ 1 ] the lambda has been used in chemistry [ 2 ] and in law for measuring volume, but its use is not recommended.

  8. List of metric units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metric_units

    The lambda (λ) is a unit of volume equal to one cubic millimetre (1 mm 3). The litre (symbol l or L) is a unit of volume equal to one cubic decimetre (1 dm 3). The stere (st) is a unit of volume equal to 1 m 3.

    The examples don't seem to be too accurate. A drop is usually defined as 0.05 ml, which then gives;. 1 drop in 50 ml = 1‰, 50ml is a very small cup 1 drop in 50 l = 1ppm 50 l is about 11 gallons, not 40 1 drop in 50 cubic metres = 1 ppb 1 drop = 1ppt, a 50 m swimming pool is 50*25*2 = 2,500 m^3 1 drop in 50,000,000 cubic metres = 1ppq, 50,000,000 m^3 is equivalent to a lake covering a square ...
